In this week's episode of The Pioneer Podcast, I discuss a very important component of the history of communism in South Africa. I refer to the paper that was published by the Secretary General of the South African Communist Party (SACP), Joe Slovo shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, in which he asked the question "Has socialism failed?". Slovo had some interesting observations about the perceived failure of communism and why he believed that there still would be a future for communism in South Africa.

In this episode of The Pioneer Podcast, I speak with Hungarian author, Gergely Szilvay and we dive into his book called 'A Critique of Gender Theory: Reflections on the Anthropological Revolution from Feminism to Transgenderism'. We discuss where this theory originated, how it is presented and why it is flawed. Furthermore, we discuss the practical consequences and how it is being utilised as an attack on the nuclear family, communities and Western Civilisation.
If you have children that are being exposed to this ideology, this is a must watch.
